During pregnancy and childbirth, doctors and hospitals are expected to provide quality care that is based on the patient's needs and health history. When doctors do not follow care standards for special conditions, birth injury can result. Depending on the severity of the situation, a birth injury can cause permanent disability or even death.

When a person is killed through another's negligence or wrongdoing, a wrongful death suit may sometimes be filed. This is similar to a personal injury lawsuit in that it is intended to compensate someone who is injured, except wrongful death proceeds typically go to the deceased's dependants. A criminal conviction for a drunk driving accident can make it easier to file a civil lawsuit later. Payment can be sought either from the responsible party's assets or insurance carrier.

When a death results because of someone else's negligence, the family of the victim or a representative of the victim's estate may file a wrongful death claim to hold the negligent driver accountable.
